RMM to Distribute Mitsubishi ‘Diamond’ Presses

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Printing & Packaging Machinery announced that the company has agreed in principle with RM Machinery that RMM will be the authorized distributor of 'Diamond' brand sheetfed offset presses manufactured by MHI-PPM. RMM will also be the authorized distributor of commercial web and newspaper presses manufactured by MHI-PPM.

In addition, RMM will supply parts and service for the existing Mitsubishi sheetfed press base in the United States. MHI-PPM and RMM are holding discussions to finalize the detailed conditions of the distributor agreement, which will commence January 1. MHI-PPM and RMM will focus further on the graphic communications industry and provide all of their existing and new customers with new equipment sales and after-sales parts and service.

In the future, MHI-PPM and RMM hope to expand the scope of the distributor relationship to include products to be manufactured by Ryobi MHI Graphic Technology Ltd., a new joint venture that MHI-PPM and Ryobi Limited are planning to establish by integrating their respective sheetfed offset printing machine businesses, as previously announced in June.
